Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the softened butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped pecans. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Press the crust mixture evenly into an ungreased 9x13-inch baking pan. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Bake the crust in the preheated oven until golden brown, approximately 20 minutes. Let it cool completely. (30 minutes)

05

Step

While the crust cools, in a large bowl, beat together the confectioners' sugar and softened cream cheese until smooth and fully combined. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping and vanilla bean paste until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)

07

Step

Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cooled crust. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Top with the cherry pie filling, spreading it uniformly across the cream cheese layer. (3 minutes)

09

Step

Refrigerate the dessert until ready to serve, ideally for at least 2 hours, to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set. (120 minutes)

For a richer flavor, toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the crust mixture.
If you don't have vanilla bean paste, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract works well as a substitute.
Feel free to experiment with other pie fillings such as blueberry or apple for a different twist.

    This recipe is a lifesaver! So much easier than making a full cheesecake, and it tastes amazing!
